Portrait Photography: Choosing the Finished Photographs

For me, the two most important things about family photography are having the session be enjoyable and getting you the best high quality archival products I can.

In order to accomplish this, I invite you into my studio for your presentation/selection meeting. Here we can work together to select your favorite photographs. I will be able to crop images and enlarge them and show you other variations including black and white or sepia.  Then I will show you a host of beautiful products that will showcase your photographs.

Here are some things to think about before the meeting:

1. Albums: When clients like 20 or more imagines many choose to put them in an archival bound album.  I offer many options (you can see some of them here). Your album can tell a story about your family at the beach, your home or wherever the session was. Duplicate books can be made for the “other house” and smaller book for grandparents.

2. Wall Portraits: If you are thinking about hanging your portrait, measure the wall you are thinking of hanging the photograph on. Typical sizes are 30 x 40, 24 x 30, 20 x 24, and 16 x 20. Since we print almost all of our work on premises, we can custom create any size you need that fits the image and your wall space. We offer many different finishes and you’ll see each option at the meeting (here’s a preview).

3. Holiday Gifts: Photographs make great Holiday Gifts. Do you have anyone that might enjoy a photograph of your children and family? Bring a written list.

4. Your Office: Does your office have space for wall portraits or something for a bookcase or your desk? Consider sizes that work for your situation.

5. Holiday Cards: Does your family send Holiday Cards? If so, how many did you send last year? Did you have enough or too many or too few? We work with several custom vendors so there are many styles to choose from.

Whether you choose albums, wall portraits, or holiday cards, you will be getting the best quality printing and finishing so that they last forever.
